Positive Connections Radio:
Episode-56: Captain Kelly Lucas OCFA
Fire Captain Kelly Lucas has been a firefighter/paramedic for 19 years and currently serves on a truck company for Orange County Fire Authority. Kelly talks about his struggles with alcoholism and how he was able to break free and get sober.
Around the 13th year mark Kelly realized he was carrying around a lot of stress and trauma of the job and his drinking became a problem. Kelly reached out for help and sought therapy, connection with others and a connection with God. He then started his difficult road to recovery.
Kelly is inspirational and gives hope and direction to those suffering from addiction and publicly speaks so others know that it is “ok” to be not “ok”.
Kelly is currently in his second-year master’s program in counseling and plans on being a therapist specializing in working with First Responders.

Today I am joined by Dr. Louise Stranger to discuss who Generation-X are as parents and how we have raised Millenials.

SUGGESTED DISCUSSION or PRESENTATION TOPICS

OUR THOUGHTS MATTER: It would be an honor to share with your audience how (with God’s help) I overcame depression in 2016 by using a proven strategy to take thoughts captive and to be transformed by the renewing of the mind–sounds lofty – but I have practical methods to help others, and I include some brain science to back it all up.
OUR WORDS MATTER: The Bible tells us that there is life and death in the power of the tongue. I have tips and tricks to help others become more deliberate in how they express themselves and communicate with others.
OUR HEALTH MATTERS: I love to chat about the brain/gut connection, and how we can improve brain health through diet. The foods we eat may be affecting our moods and emotions more than we think.
OUR MINDSETS MATTER: Developing and fostering the mindsets of expectancy and gratitude may be just what we need to start and finish each day with success and joy. Not only do the mindsets we adopt each day open the door to new possibilities, they also protect us from the otherwise harsh realities and trials we’re bound to bump up against in our journey.
DITCH THE ____[you pick]: Choose the toxic thought, emotion, or mindset where your audience feels “stuck.” Is the time right to overcome fear, anxiety, or overwhelm and pivot in a new, healthy direction? I can share practical applications and hacks to help others boost their confidence and gain clarity in areas where they have stalled or feel stymied.

Perfection.

Perfectionists are extraordinary people.

Their vision, determination, and commitment to only the very best has allowed seemingly unreachable ambitions to be realized and ground-breaking techniques to be discovered. Without them, the world as we know it would be virtually unrecognizable.

But their dedication comes at a price.

The pursuit of perfection is often so intense that mental and physical health is frequently compromised, with the continual feelings of never being good enough sending many perfectionists on the road to depression and burnout.

Julian Reeve, a former music director of the Broadway musical Hamilton, turned perfectionism contributor, speaker, and author of Captain Perfection & the Secret of Self-Compassion: A Self-Help Book for the Young Perfectionist.

Tehya's Story

“When you are Happy, you enjoy the music. When you are Sad, you understand the lyrics.” This quote about Bipolar begins to express the rollercoaster life of someone who lives with it. The extremes and the relief of the middle. Waiting for the other shoe to drop and the repair process in the aftermath. Bipolar is the healing or the curse of dancing…depending on the person’s current state.

 

This is Tehya’s life. Early diagnosis. Early Medication. Early trauma. a lifetime of recovery work, including her current path towards a Ph.D. in Neuro Science.

Join me for this incredible story. Tehya is transparent and willing to use her story to teach parents.

 

A Family is Only as Sick as It's Secrets

John Ingham tells his harsh truth story of growing up as an addict in a family of addicts.

Be Advised: Explicit Language.

“My gateway was my family.” Transparency and Truth, John paints the picture of recovery that feels familiar to a lot of us and relieves the pressure of feeling like you are alone in your struggle. Starting at 8 years old and now supporting teens in recovery getting into college. An inspiring story of family love, drug use, and moving on.

Killing the Dragon

Smoking Cigarettes has been deemed just as addictive as using Heroin; my guest today refutes this claim. John De Miranda has been substance-free for over 40 years and has dedicated his life to researching and understanding the Nicotine Industry.

Today, he wants to call parents and our culture out on how we educate our youth around the subject of substance use and distinguish myth from fact when it comes to addiction and experimentation.

He's Got his Mothers Eyes and His Fathers Trauma.

We pass down alot to our children, genetically and emotionally. As parents, we try to figure out where our child’s behavior comes from, especially when they are acting out and struggling.

My guest today will guide us through the concept of Epigenetics, the study of how trauma is passed down through generations. 

Carolyn Ross, a Board Certified Medical Doctor and specialist in addiction disorder, dedicates her practice to understanding the effects of Epigenetics and how parents can build awareness of how their own experience is affecting their children.
